“The food at this place is delicious, and they offer items which a lot of other nearby restaurants do not. I have gotten take out and eaten there, and I have enjoyed both experiences. If I had to choose one thing that I disliked about this restaurant, it would be that I wish more of their delivery options could be made without sugar/palm sugar.“
“This was my first time eating at Minerva after hearing rave reviews from my family for months! We came for the weekend lunch buffet and it was amazing; so many options, fantastic food, and great service. This will be a regular spot for me every time I visit Boston!“
“A fantastic addition to Cambridge for vegetarians looking for, in my opinion, the best American cuisine. Great faux options, such as their buffalo chicken sandwich. When we visited, the owner was there, greeting customers and talking about their thoughts. It was great to hear what his vision was and some of his story. Looking forward to returning.Vegetarian options: Great option for delicious, more indulgent options. Still plenty of fresh greens and tasty faux meats.“

“Initially I was concerned that I wouldn't find any vegan options in Boston. The Life Alive Organic Cafe in Cambridge was a great find. They are plant based having vegetarian and vegan options. The food is fresh, quality and the tastes a great.A wide range of dishes including warm grain bowls, salads, wraps, noodles and soups, and desserts. The beverages include smoothies, cold pressed juices, coffees, teas and suoerfood.lattes.This is definitely on par with the best vegan food I have had in London. Free WiFi, great food and service what more could you ask for. A short distance from MIT you should put it on your to do list.Pictured are Miso Tofu Ramen, Grilled Pita and Blue Breeze.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“Yummy and healthy bowls. I got two dishes and split with my friend broth based and a rice based. Both were really different and delicious! They had just opened their baked goods part of the restaurant so they gave away pastries with the purchase of a meal! Updated from previous review on 2024-02-19“
“Thrive Juice Cafe, very tasty food, love the healthy salads, sandwiches, falafel wrap, bowl, smoothies, strawberry banana.Owner Derek known for few years, he and his employees very kind,Makes me smile when ever I come for lunch, snacks.Everything is made with love for the customers.“
“Such friendly service and warm atmosphere! Love the interior, the booths were comfortable to sit at! Loved the personal photos on the wall and the bright colors of the decor. It was hard to choose what to pick since everything sounded wonderful. The hummus and cucumber mint dip with the hot pita were the best start with! Could have eaten just that for lunch but had to try the bowls. The falafels were crispy on the inside and soft and inviting in the inside. You could taste and see the freshness of all the ingredients! The mint lemonade, get yourself a pitcher! Finished with the homemade baklava, oh my gosh, so freaking flavorful! The family owned restaurant is top notch! Even if your not a vegetarian, you will enjoy the flavors and variety, also you will be full for the rest of the day! Looking forward to coming back next time in the area!“
“My husband and I stopped by this cute spot at Assembly Square for breakfast. We ordered at the counter, and the service was quick. I saw they have an option to order ahead online as well. Hubby got a smoothie which he liked (forgot which one!). I got the Avocado Avalanche; it was so tasty and had so much avocado. I would definitely get it again!“
“I wish they offered more allergen info on their menu but I loved all the food (and the juices) I got here--good mix of culturally diverse options while also still kind of being junk food. Most of the desserts are mediocre though, the pistachio cake is a little cloying and the chocolate cake had no frosting or anything just a thin layer of icing that mostly stuck to the container?“
“Food I'll come back for! You order at the door, so best to check the menu before coming in, to make sure you get seated the quickest. They'll serve your food after the order. The food and drinks were ?? They do have the cold pressed drinks in bottles. So if you're eating in, maybe skip them. We had the Spicy Peanut Noodles, The Adventurer Bowl, Elote Avacado Salad and and drink Frozen Mochaccno, Orange Blossom Cold Press and Ginger Crush. They were the best.Vegetarian options: All Vegetarian, killer food!Dietary restrictions: Would accomedate any dietary restrictions. All option clearly marked on the menu.“
“Phenomenal tacos. The highlights are the nachos, crispy fried tofu taco, and torta with crispy fried tofu. But you really can’t go wrong!My only recommendation would be to getter napkins for dine-in. Tacos are super messy and the napkins are thin and tiny.“
“Our favorite vegan pizza in the greater Boston area. Whole wheat crust (ask for it) is thin and crispy, and the toppings are generous. Also, the flavor of the marinara tomato sauce in their pasta dishes is simply remarkable. Garden Vegetable penne is my favorite. Service is polite and prompt. Haven't had a bad experience yet after dining here about 10 times.Vegetarian options: All vegetarian, mostly vegan (with modifications). Servers are fully knowledgeable and can easily accommodate vegans“
“This place was excellent! We came back again, visiting from AZ. Appetizers, Thai tea, soup, meal and even dessert were so good. Try cute family business, with exceptional quality food. The second time we came, I believe the 2 sons served us. They were very excited to be there. I wish I lived closer; I would be a regular.“
“This review is long overdue - I basically *live* at this place - easily get about 7+ orders here a week. When trying to eat enough greens and veggies, etc. I find it's easy to throw away a lot of produce / generate a lot of food waste and I find the prices to be reasonable for the high-quality food that you get in the right proportions. The salads are enormous and when I compare the cost of all the ingredients if I were to buy it all myself. I'm a recent cancer survivor so eating as healthy as possible is critical and this place is just awesome. Also, the people that work here are *the best*! If I ever move, I think I'll miss this place the most! Thanks for having a great place with truly healthy food alternatives!“
“Great vegan spot with good food. The kids menu was helpful and the space is nice. It's great to not have to think about dietary restrictions here with everything clearly labeled.Vegetarian options: Entire menu is vegan, including house-made saucesDietary restrictions: Entire vegan menu with clearly labeled gluten free items and ingredients listedParking: Parking can be difficult depending on the day and time. The streets in the area are all meters which are free on SundaysKid-friendliness: There was a kid section on the menu.The Mac and cheese comes with a chorizo topping that was too spicy for my kidWheelchair accessibility: Entire restaurant was accessible“
“My friends and I visited on a whim on our way to pick pumpkins, and we can't help but overwhelmingly recommend it. From my understanding it's mainly - if not only - run by Masao himself, and we agree he's doing a lovely job. The atmosphere itself was very cozy and welcoming, and I definitely suggest dining in if you'd enjoy a space to take it slow and savor the peace.Can't stress enough that the food is good!! I was very happy to find nearly everything on today's menu was gluten free as one person in our party can't have any, and it was all very fall-oriented flavors. I especially liked the BBQ tofu, butternut squash millet, black bean stew, and the vanilla custard.“
“Binka makes the best smoothies to bring you back after a hard workout! I recommend the Almond Berry or Coffee Heaven smoothies to renew yourself - I stop in faithfully after a workout several buildings away from 11-11 Health Bar twice a week, and her drinks bring me back! And Binka is really nice and fun!“
